37238	YouTube TV - Yes or No?	Rumor has it that YouTube/Google wants to transition from "free" to  $$ paying customers. No surprise to me. I'm concerned over all the subscriptions I currently carry. Maybe I have subscribers overdose?	eddstarr	Aug 29, 2017

37236	The Café	Since no one else posted about this, here's a meme regarding the Mayweather-McGregor fight. <div><br></div><div><img width="300" height="300" src="/images/postImages/1503973306McGregor.jpg"></div>	Rick Ace Rhodes	Aug 29, 2017
37235	How was your day?	My day was absolutely "amazing" by all means. I got little to no sleep last night. Then I had to shell out $25 I didn't want to to fix something that was still functional. Then I got ketchup on my brand new shirt. So then I fell asleep at 6:00 only to be woken up at 8:30 by a fire alarm.<div><br></div><div>Now I just ate my extremely delicious dinner of watery, microwavable Kraft Mac n Cheese cups and two Reese's FastBreak bars.</div>	Rick Ace Rhodes	Aug 29, 2017
37234	YouTube TV - Yes or No?	I don't understand why YouTube is going for this. They would rather be the next "Netflix" then be the first "YouTube".	Rick Ace Rhodes	Aug 29, 2017
37233	YouTube TV - Yes or No?	I wouldn't mind being able to watch my local channels live. I don't have cable, nor do I have any signal to speak of to pick up local channels. So I'm all for this.<br>	Vaporman87	Aug 29, 2017

37230	YouTube TV - Yes or No?	I have Hulu, Crunchyroll, and Netflix, I'm good.	ThatDudeintheHoodie	Aug 29, 2017
37229	What song are you listening to?	By the end of the 1960's CBS owned Saturday Mornings with top rated superhero cartoons leading the way - and hate mail from children's television "watchdog" organizations like, "Action for Children's Television - ACT", as one example.<div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">By 1970 the pressure on CBS, and the other networks, was so great that "non-cartoon" entertainment was being produced and promoted from every content provider back in the day. But the question was, "what will the kids watch that will win parental approval?"</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">How about music and comedy? <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Remember "Hee-Haw" and "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour"?</span></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Well the same studios that make primetime television can easily come up with SatAM shows that are kid friendly, afterall it was the 1970's, <i>don't cha' know!</i></span></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This rare clip is from the 1977 SatAM comedy series, "<b style="font-style: normal;">WACKO!</b>", starring a cast of stand-up comedians - like Charles Fleischer, (<i>the voice of Roger Rabbit in the 1988 movie</i>).</span></div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Dwight Twilley was best friends with Tom Petty and they both made careers in music. This is the "Dwight Twilley Band" as guests on WACKO! - the Saturday morning comedy show that only lasted one season on CBS. Think of WACKO! as a morning version of SNL:</span></div><div style=""><br></div> <div style="position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:75.0%"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d1wSEhjFWaE?ecver=2" width="480" height="360" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br></div>"WACKO!" wasn't alone in trying to shake-up Saturday Mornings on CBS.<div><br></div><div>Here's the intro to, "<b>The Hudson Brothers Razzle-Dazzle Show</b>", from just a couple of years earlier.

I don't know if you guys realize how beloved Cookie Bear became. He began as an innocent comedy skit but was so popular as a regular feature that Cookie Bear may have helped extend the run of "The Andy Williams Show" into the 1970's - long after Andy's singing style was well out of favor!<div><br>  <div style="position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:75.0%"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9W9t3p1Pk5s?ecver=2" width="480" height="360" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div>	eddstarr	Aug 28, 2017
